 INTRODUCTION

• Manufacturing industry is on the verge of a major paradigm shift.

This shift will take us away from mass production, way beyond lean
manufacturing, into a world of Agile Manufacturing .

 What is Agile Manufacturing ?
• Agile manufacturing is a method for manufacturing which combine
organization, people and technology into an integrated and coordinated
whole.
• It is a term applied to an organization that has created the processes, tools,
and training to enable it to respond quickly to customer needs and market
changes while still controlling costs and quality.

 LITERATURE SURVEY
Even though many Indian industries are still under the stage of lean
manufacturing system. So, there is an urgent need to switch from lean
manufacturing systems, flexible manufacturing systems to AMS.
• Moradlou and Asadi, (2015) showed that in the innovative and developing
AMS standard, where numerous organizations collaborate under mass
customization, in which there is need of a technique which can manage the
data flow between cooperating organizations. Due to this need they show
that information technology integration is needed at every step of an
organization.
• Pan and Nag, (2013) according to author as we move toward the 21st
century, success and survival in today’s competitive scenario are more and
more difficult. The ability to provenance of this competitiveness started
from one basic term i.e. “change”.

 With fast changes occurring in the demand of the client, the manufacturer has
to adopt itself so that it would not diminish. Survival will depend on the
capability to keep up with the continuous and unexpected change. This could
be described on how agile an environment can be. Being agile will allow the
company to seek for new opportunity as well as to ignite new innovations
